Drives smooth, seats are comfortable, shifts nicely and the speakers are great. 4 wheel drive works good. traction control light comes on along with maintenance light. It has ABS, so there is safety. There are all kinds of lights that will notify you on the dash board if the vehicle needs maintenance.

Love the interior build quality and comfort. Stereo, climate controls and seat controls are very intuitive and accessible. Performance and handling seem very good for an SUV this size and age. Plenty of horsepower and traction to handle hauling and towing significant payloads, up to and including small camping trailers and boats. The rear seats fold down easily, as well, to create additional interior cargo space. Relatively low maintenance costs. In fact, the original factory tires lasted over 60k miles and 10 years. Have had to do very little maintenance outside of regular oil changes. Only issue was a replacement coil pack. Have taken the vehicle on long road trips, and while highway mileage is higher than city, it still gets relatively poor mileage and the 16 gallon tank takes a bite out of the wallet to fill up.
